The only way this club is going to sort itself out is with a new figurehead. Think those running this club do good things on the community side and should continue to do so. But there needs to be change at the top. This chairman cannot preside over two relegations and four poor managerial appointments and stay in post. For all the discussion of new plans and reviews, the only thing that will unite this clubs supporters and reenergise the place is change at very top.
This is completely correct. I have no reason to think that GR is planning to stand down but if it's going to happen, it needs to happen at the strategic review launch. If not, he'll just say 'we need to look forward now' and 'things are going to be different', even though I've no doubt that the fundamental way that he runs the club won't change at all.
So I would suggest that those of us who believe we need change at the very top must use the next ten days to try and persuade, politely but insistently, our chairman to stand down. God knows if it'll work. But we have to try.
